Jackie has been practicing aerial silks since 2016 and teaching since 2020. She first tried aerial on a whim during a trip to NYC and was hooked from day one.
In addition to silks, Jackie also enjoys the occasional flight on other aerial apparatuses such as flying trapeze, pole, and lyra, but her devotion for teaching and practice remains with split silks and hammock. She loves introducing students to the joy of being up in the air and strives to provide a welcoming and accepting atmosphere in all of her classes.
Providing clear and concise instructions is critical while recognizing that every body is different, so modifications for skills and conditioning exercises are always offered. Only the student knows how their body is feeling on any given day!
When she’s not on the silks Jackie enjoys her "other job" as a vet tech, horseback riding and spending time outside with her dog and husband.
